Delicious cheese pastries for a picnic or straight out of the oven.
Ingredients:
  • 300g (2 cups) plain flour
  • 8.00 gm baking powder
  • 1.25 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 2.40 gm salt
  • 1.25 gm sweet paprika
  • 125g chilled unsalted butter, chopped
  • 125g vintage cheddar, coarsely grated
  • 250ml (1 cup) buttermilk
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
  • 20.80 gm buttermilk, extra
  • Sweet paprika, extra, to sprinkle
  • Butter, at room temperature, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180ºC and prepare a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and paprika. Use your fingertips to blend the unsalted butter into the mixture until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in cheddar cheese. Add buttermilk and use a fork to combine until the dough comes together.
  • With your hands dusted in flour, gather the dough in the bowl. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and press it down to create a 3cm-thick disc. Use a 6cm round pastry cutter to make 10 discs, reworking the extra dough as needed. Arrange the discs 2cm apart on the baking tray.
  • In a bowl, mix together the egg and extra buttermilk. Brush the tops of the discs with the egg mixture and sprinkle with a dash of extra paprika. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crisp and golden, making sure to turn the tray 180 degrees halfway through. Serve with butter.
